Virtual Reality Degree at University of Advancing Technology

Designing games for life-changing applications

Interactive entertainment and practices have become a part of everyday life and there is a growing expectation that gaming-based technologies and interactions are being embraced by mainstream businesses and organizations. This gamification of user experiences is key to virtual reality and augmented reality platforms.

The Virtual Reality bachelor's degree from University of Advancing Technology uses gamification as a base and applies the design principles of interactive software development to virtual reality applications such as corporate training, medical, therapeutic, military and education. As this is a highly technical field, students will be exposed to the tools and philosophies of interactive development as well as mid-level programming and asset creation skill sets. The coursework emphasizes design skills such as strong initial concepts, design documentation, game balancing and play-testing, interactive storytelling and interface design with an eye toward developments in the virtual reality and augmented reality field.

Students in the Virtual Reality program will also take a critical approach to the study of gameplay, player interaction, user experience and community dynamics, as well as the unique features of the numerous interactive platforms available in the marketplace. Applying all the elements of the software creation process, students will also develop the mentorship and leadership skills to complete projects from initial concept to publishing a final product.
